Chapter 12781 Split
"Well, I won't go in. The Split Wolf is sealed inside, and the resentment on his body makes me very uncomfortable. I'll just wait here for you to come out."
"Yes, clan chief."
The Holy Lord, clasped his hands in acceptance of the command.
As dawn broke, she gently raised her hand, and a ray of morning light touched the horizon.
The thick gray fog barrier instantly cracked open, creating a gap large enough for two people to pass through.
"Hurry up and go in," Xin Dan urged.
Ye Chen and the Holy Lord of Candlelight exchanged a glance, then without further hesitation, stepped into the valley through the crevice.
As soon as Ye Chen entered, an extreme sense of contrast overwhelmed him.
There were two distinct auras in the valley.
A chilling aura emanated from the gray fog, mixed with the malevolent energy of the Split Wolves.
The other was the scorching heat brought by the golden light of the Yang chapter.
The two auras intertwined and collided in the valley, forming a strange current that washed over people like a cold wind and flames.
Ye Chen activated his spiritual energy to protect himself, and continued forward with the Holy Lord of Candlelight.
He could clearly see a huge pillar of light in the center of the valley, which was golden in color, but there was a lot of dark and turbid aura in the golden pillar of light, which was probably the location of the Yang Chapter and the coffin of the Split Wolf.
After walking about a hundred steps, the valley suddenly opened up, and an enormous, deep pit appeared before the two of them—that was the Ancestral Meteorite Crater.
Ye Chen stood at a distance from the edge of the pit, sensing a dangerous aura, and did not approach too closely.
As he looked ahead, he felt an extremely terrifying aura rushing towards him, causing his blood to surge.
The giant pit was bottomless, and from it burst forth a torrent of blazing golden light and scorching sun.
Within the golden light, countless Yang characters flowed endlessly, forming a pillar of light that soared into the sky, piercing through the top of the valley and intertwining with the twilight outside, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene.
Mixed within the golden light and the blazing sun was an extremely strong sense of resentment and malevolence.
Strands of malevolent energy, as black as ink, contrasted sharply with the pure yang golden light, faintly coalescing into the shapes of ferocious black wolves, swirling and dancing within the pillar of light, occasionally emitting low and savage roars.
Ye Chen felt a sudden, inexplicable tremor in his heart. He saw that the black wolves were enormous, with exposed fangs and eyes filled with pure killing intent and violence. They were the lingering remnants of the Split Wolves.
Countless lingering resentments converged to form this chilling and terrifying scene.
Ye Chen took a few steps back, keeping a considerable distance from the giant pit, his heart filled with apprehension.
The two auras ahead were both incredibly terrifying.
The aura of Yang Pian was vast and intense, a hundred times hotter than his Heavenly Emperor Destiny Star, containing the purest Yang spiritual energy in the world, as if it could burn away all darkness and filth.
Another aura of the Split Wolf, cold and violent, carrying extreme pain and hatred, was suppressed at the bottom of the giant pit by the pure Yang aura of the Yang chapter, only able to let out unwilling roars, unable to break free.
Just then, the tombstone in the Reincarnation Graveyard began to shake more violently, almost breaking free of its restraints.
Ye Chen's heart sank; he had a bad feeling.
"No, we can't let her out yet..."
"If we let her out, she will immediately be corrupted by the resentful aura of the Split Wolves!"
Ye Chen communicated with the Goddess of Illusion Moon: "Illusion Moon, quick, help me suppress that tombstone!"
Ye Chen was already struggling against the impact of the Yang Chapter's spiritual energy and the resentment of the Split Wolf, so he could no longer focus on suppressing the tombstone.
"I understand, tomb owner!"
The Goddess of Illusion moved swiftly, drawing the Moonlit Shattering Star Sword and thrusting it backwards, piercing the tombstone and embedding it deep within.
A mournful cry seemed to emanate from the tombstone, and then silence fell.
"..."
Ye Chen's face twitched. He hadn't expected the Goddess of Illusion Moon to be so ruthless, but he couldn't care less about that now.
Ye Chen slowly released his divine sense, carefully exploring the ancestral crater.
His divine sense penetrated through layers of golden light and malevolent energy, extending downwards with difficulty. This giant pit was filled with the scorching aura of Yang energy. Fortunately, Ye Chen had drunk the Bitter Wine of Twilight and already had the foundation of Yang energy in his body. Moreover, he was only probing with his divine sense, not with his physical body.
Therefore, the scorching heat of the Yang chapter was still within Ye Chen's tolerance range.
After a short while, he finally saw what the bottom of the pit looked like.
At the center of the bottom of the giant pit, there was a huge coffin. The coffin was completely black, of unknown material, and shrouded in gray mist, exuding a cold aura. It was the very coffin where the Lord of Gray Mist had once slept.
The coffin was covered with gnarled tree roots.
Those tree roots, thick and twisted, were dark gray and covered with a thick gray mist. They were clearly the gray mist root crown that Xin Dan had mentioned, possessing powerful sealing power.
The tree roots tightly wrapped around the coffin, firmly securing it to the bottom of the pit.
The surface of the coffin was engraved with golden characters, which shone brightly. They were clearly characters from the Yang chapter, but compared with the characters that were visible to the outside world, these characters had a purer, more primordial aura.
"This is the true text of the Yang chapter!"
"So, the so-called Yang chapter was actually completely inscribed on this sealed coffin!"
Ye Chen exclaimed inwardly, realizing what was going on.
The Split Wolf was clearly sealed inside this black coffin. The combination of the Gray Mist Root Crown, the Gray Mist Lord's coffin, and the power of the Yang Chapter Characters created a triple seal that suppressed this terrifying being.
Ye Chen activated his divine sense, wanting to examine the Yang characters more closely, but when his divine sense touched the characters, it was like an ant touching the sun.
An extremely terrifyingly hot aura instantly rebounded and struck back.
"Uh-"
Ye Chen groaned, feeling a sharp, burning pain in his head, as if millions of suns were exploding at once, and his vision went black.
The divine sense he had just released was also instantly annihilated.
The annihilation of his divine consciousness brought another wave of intense pain, and Ye Chen's face and features were instantly distorted as he deeply felt the terror of the Yang Chapter.
Even though it wasn't a physical sensation, but just a mental probe, he suffered a severe backlash!
"Ho..."
Ye Chen gasped for breath, circulating the power of reincarnation and annihilation to slowly alleviate the burning pain in his sea of consciousness.
Noticing Ye Chen's unusual behavior, the Holy Lord of Candlelight, his expression darkened, and he asked, "Lord of Reincarnation, how are you?"
Ye Chen grinned and said, "I tried to peek into the Yang Chapter just now, but I suffered a backlash."
"This Yang chapter is not easy to seize."
The plan of the Holy Lord of Candlelight is to have Ye Chen seize the Yang Chapter, control the power of pure Yang, and then use the power of pure Yang to nourish him and help him attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
But at this moment, Ye Chen peered into the Yang Chapter and felt its terror. He was afraid that he was not capable of controlling it. Even just a simple peek would cause him to suffer immense backlash and pain.
Even if Ren Feifan came, he wouldn't be able to control the Yang Chapter, Ye Chen was certain of that.
"Even you can't do anything about it?"
The Holy Lord of Candlelight immediately showed a disappointed expression; he had thought Ye Chen was omnipotent.
After all, the title of Lord of Reincarnation is too prestigious in the outside world.
"I'll try again."
Ye Chen used words to calm the Holy Lord of Candlelight, lest any trouble arise between them.
After a pause, Ye Chen asked again:
"But, senior, the Yang Chapter... is actually inscribed on that sealed coffin. If I want to seize the Yang Chapter, wouldn't I have to dig up that coffin?"
One chapter of Yang was already incredibly troublesome; if you add a Splitting Wolf to the mix, Ye Chen has no idea how he can control it.
The combined energy of the Yang Chapter and the Split Wolf was enough to bury him.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight shook his head and explained, "It's not an inscription, but a wrapping."
"The Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract is actually recorded on an ancient piece of cloth. The cloth was thin and was used by Chief Xindan to wrap this coffin."
"The cloth was as thin as a cicada's wing, so the characters on it would naturally appear on the surface of the coffin, looking as if they were directly engraved on it."
"I see..." Ye Chen suddenly realized, then asked, "Even with the intense and vast energy of the Yang Chapter, it's not enough to destroy the Split Wolf?"
Judging from Ye Chen's experience just now, the energy of the Yang Chapter is terrifying, a hundred times more terrifying and intense than the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star. Logically speaking, under the crushing power of the Yang Chapter, all evil gods and demons should be reduced to ashes, yet the Splitting Wolf is still alive.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight sighed softly and said:
"The Split Wolf cannot be killed. It is not an ordinary creature, but an existence at the level of laws, representing the unhealed wound of the blazing sun."
"From the moment he was born, he became one with the laws of heaven and earth. As long as there are people among all living beings in heaven and earth who have wounds and pain, he will never die."
"All we can do is seal him away tightly to prevent him from coming out and causing havoc on the world."
He paused, then added, "Actually, relying on the Gray Mist Root Crown, the Gray Mist Lord's coffin, and the earth vein power of our Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, is already enough to seal the Split Wolf."
"However, Chief Xindan was too cautious and worried that something might go wrong with the seal, so he wrapped the coffin with Yang Pian cloth to reinforce the seal."
At this point, the Holy Lord of Candlelight's gaze fell on Ye Chen, a hint of expectation in his eyes:
"Therefore, Lord of Reincarnation, if you have the ability, you can try to take away that piece of Yang cloth. There is no need to worry that the Split Wolf will break free from the seal."
"As for the earth veins of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, you don't need to worry about them collapsing. The Yang chapter has been deposited here for many years, and the spiritual energy that has been deposited is enough for the Pure Land to benefit for countless generations."
Ye Chen's heart stirred. If that were the case, then he would have no worries.
"Let me check the situation first."
Ye Chen clenched his fist, not wanting to make a definitive statement.
Judging from his feelings just now, it will be extremely difficult to seize the Yang Chapter.
After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a barely feasible solution.
That is, to sink the Yang chapter into the abyss within one's own body.
The darkness of the abyss contains the yang chapter.
In this way, if Yin and Yang can harmonize with each other, a balance may be achieved.
At that time, he will be able to control both the power of the Abyss and the power of the Yang Chapter, and he will no longer be devoured by the Abyss, nor will he be able to withstand the intensity of the Yang Chapter.
The problem is that he can't even get close to the Yang Chapter cloth now. If he touches it, he will be burned to death by the pure Yang flames of the Yang Chapter, let alone sink the Yang Chapter into the abyss.
Now, Ye Chen can only say to see how things go.
"Senior, please stay away from me. I need to use some of my skills."
Ye Chen sat down cross-legged, his face solemn, looking at the ancestral crater, and then told the Holy Lord of Candlelight to stay away from him.
This was actually to create distance and guard against a sudden sneak attack from the Holy Lord of Candlelight.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight followed his instructions and gracefully retreated, keeping his distance from Ye Chen. He looked at Ye Chen with great curiosity, wondering what method he was going to use.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and summoned the Heavenly Saint Bottle. Inside the bottle was a dark fragment, which was the Frenzy Fragment.
"This is……"
When the Holy Lord of Candlelight saw the Holy Bottle and the Fragments of Frenzied Devouring, his eyes immediately showed a look of shock.
Both the Heavenly Saint Bottle and the Frenzy Fragment are rare treasures in the world!
"Berserk Law, Devour!"
Ye Chen opened the bottle and activated the Frenzied Devouring Fragment. A powerful devouring force erupted from the Frenzied Devouring Fragment, and it began to frantically absorb the Yang Chapter spiritual energy in the Ancestral Meteor Crater.
Ye Chen planned to use the Frenzied Devouring Fragment to absorb the spiritual energy of the Yang Chapter and store it in the Heavenly Saint Bottle. Then, he would use the spiritual energy of the Yang Chapter to envelop himself. Once he had sufficient protection, he would then try to seize the real Yang Chapter manual.
He was extremely cautious, carefully manipulating the power of devouring to avoid the resentment and malevolence of the Splitting Wolf, and precisely devouring only the pure Yang spiritual energy of the Yang chapter.
Golden Yang energy, like a stream, flowed slowly into the Heavenly Saint Bottle along with the devouring power. Soon, golden light flowed within the bottle, making it appear incomparably sacred.
As time passed, the Yang spiritual energy within the Heavenly Sacred Bottle grew increasingly concentrated. Ye Chen continuously compressed and condensed it, gradually transforming it into drops of thick golden liquid. Like molten gold, these drops slowly writhed within the Heavenly Sacred Bottle, radiating a pure Yang aura.
"That's right. The amount of spiritual energy we've collected so far is enough to solve many difficult problems."
Ye Chen looked at the golden liquid in the Heavenly Saint Bottle and felt quite satisfied.
The amount of Yang energy he collected was more than enough to alleviate the abyss's effects, help Ren Feifan suppress the darkness and destruction, and then heal Panwu Tianzun.
However, since it wasn't a true Yang-style secret manual, it naturally couldn't completely solve Ye Chen's abyss calamity. At most, it could only alleviate the symptoms, not the root cause, which naturally left him with some regret.
To truly solve this, we need to obtain the complete Yang Chapter manual.
Ye Chen steadied himself and decided to first use the spiritual energy of the Yang Chapter to envelop himself, transforming himself into the light of the Yang Chapter, before attempting to seize the Yang Chapter's secret manual cloth. By blending into the light, he might be able to withstand the scorching aura of the Yang Chapter.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
An extremely terrifying and violent aura suddenly erupted from the bottom of the giant pit, instantly sweeping across the entire valley. The lingering black wolf spirit that had been hovering in the pillar of light became incredibly ferocious, and its roars grew increasingly shrill.
That was the riot of the Dividing Wolves!
The Split Wolf has been alerted!
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's expression immediately changed.
His act of absorbing the spiritual energy of the Yang chapter eventually alerted the Split Wolf, which was sealed in the coffin.
A brutal and ferocious aura suddenly invaded Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, a ferocious, enormous, and extremely savage werewolf figure appeared in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
The werewolf was several meters tall, covered in jet-black fur, with blood-red eyes, protruding fangs, and drool dripping from its mouth.
The werewolf had a hideous wound that stretched from its left shoulder to its lower right abdomen. The scarlet wound was dripping with blood and exuded a menacing aura that would never heal.
Just seeing this wound can shake a person's spirit, as if they too are plunged into endless pain.
This is the sun's wound that will never heal. From the moment it was born, it has been connected to the laws of heaven and earth, and has transcended the scope of the sun itself.
As long as someone in the world is injured, that wound will become more severe, never truly healed, and will instead grow increasingly painful and worse.
This werewolf is none other than the Split Wolf!
